All you want to know about trees!

Hey Everyone,
I had the great pleasure of participating in a Kestrel Land Trust Walk and Talk, led by my good friend, Michael Wojtech., author of Bark, A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast. He is the Tree Guy! Whenever we go out hiking, I’m always looking up at the birds and he’s always looking at the trees! Between the two of us, we got it covered, except I keep walking into trees, and boulders, and…
Here’s a video of some of his Tree Walk, enjoy!

Here’s a few trees we saw (click on them to enlarge the pic):

This is an oldie but goodie, a Black Birch

Isn’t this one colorful! It’s a pin oak

These are both red maples!

This one is a hard one, I know it only from its blooms, a Tulip Tree.

I know this one!…Sycamore.

This one reminds me, I gotta get some fresh syrup this week!

They make drinks from the roots…sasafras.

I got this one too….a Hickory!

Ah, an ash…

Here’s a black oak.

Here’s a gray birch. the black area where a branch used to be is called a chevron.

About John Body

I live in Western Massachusetts, in the incredibly beautiful Connecticut River Valley. I've been hiking, kayaking, and tracking wildlife throughout the Valley with lots of photos and videos that people may like to see. Whenever I travel I also take my cameras just in case I see great scenery or wildlife. My passion is wildlife conservation so I try to attend wildlife workshops and land preservation events (Habitat, Habitat, Habitat!). When I get a chance, I videotape the experts, they're just so knowledgeable and inspiring. I hope you enjoy my posts.
